Jacksonville Jaguars OT Luke Joeckel's (knee) career as a Jaguar may be over after he was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Oct. 4. Joeckel will need surgery on his knee and is in the last season of his rookie contract. The Jaguars did not pick up his fifth-year option, so he's not guaranteed to return next season. ESPN.com's Mike DiRocco posits that Joeckel may have a better chance of staying on if he's willing to play at left guard, with OT Kelvin Beachum starting at left tackle.

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars OT Kelvin Beachum (concussion) was released from a San Diego area hospital and returned to Jacksonville Monday, Sept. 19. He remains in the NFL's concussion protocol.

Jacksonville Jaguars OT Kelvin Beachum (knee) practiced on the side again Monday, Aug. 8. He is taking it slow in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Beachum will compete with OT Luke Joeckel for the starting left tackle position once he returns.

Jacksonville Jaguars OT Luke Joeckel is an option to play left guard, according to general manager Dave Caldwell. OT Kelvin Beachum (knee) could take over for Joeckel at left tackle if/when Beachum is cleared to play from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered last year.

Jacksonville Jaguars OT Luke Joeckel has impressed the coaching staff when he has taken reps at offensive guard, and he is expected to be a backup tackle or starting guard if he doesn't beat out OT Kelvin Beachum for the starting left tackle spot.

Jacksonville Jaguars OT Kelvin Beachum (knee) said he believes he is making progress in his rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament but still does not have a timetable for his return. Beachum said he has been able to participate in some position drills but has not been cleared for team drills.
